I'm suggesting we have 0 data, and this study is nothing more than an opportunity for people to advocate for the policies they wanted anyway.
Which is fine, you can say that 4-day weeks is better b/c it's nicer! That's ok! Just don't try to dress this fluff up as science.
- soganess 5y agoThat just seems like moving the goal post. Without a trial to explore efficacy, it is a pie-in-the-sky idea that shouldn't be taken seriously. When a trial happens...well this trial isn't really indicative of how people will truly behave when not in trial... we should just discount the results. I guess there really are no true Scotsman in Iceland.
- npunt 5y agoThis was a four year study involving 2500 participants. You may feel the evidence is insufficient to make the policy changes they did as a result, but if you feel this is fluff dressed up as science it might be nice to understand what you found problematic about this study's methods for it to not qualify as adding to the body of scientific evidence we have on this topic.
- ncallaway 5y ago> I'm suggesting we have 0 data But you’d be wrong, because we now have some data. You can argue the quality of the data is insufficient to draw a conclusion, but it seems… extreme to argue that the data that was collected has 0 value.
- ashtonkem 5y agoOne gets the feeling that the issue is less “we don’t have any data” and more “I disagree with what the data is saying”.
